Last Friday was Mr TBS's birthday. Because of our schedules, I did not have an opportunity to bake his birthday cupcakes (I know...bad, bad wife but my dear of a husband is tres, tres understanding). I felt very badly about this and can't wait to get in the kitchen and chef up a batch.

Boy, will he be surprised when I do.

While I was at the Salvation Army Thrift Store last weekend, I came upon this set of cake plates for $9.99. Yep. Doesn't this look like a gem that can only be unearthed by the likes of Eddie Ross? Can't you see it on one of his delightful tablescapes? And at this price, I couldn't snatch them up quickly enough.

Let me start by saying I adore your blog! This was a great deal. I actually have two serving dishes: one is a cupcake stand I purchased from a local thrift store for only $1.99. I use it at almost every function. I can decorate it for baby showers, bridal showers, holidays, etc. These stands usually run for approx. $20-30 at most cake stores. I also purchased a cake stand on sale from Macy's for 15 bucks. I can put a nicely decorated cake with fresh strawberries or some tasty cookies!!
